Cases

Seray-Wurie v Charity Commission of England and Wales

Comment

The law is in a state of development concerning qualified privilege as it applies to publications to the world at large. This case provides authority that, at least as far as non-media cases are concerned, such wide publication can be justified under traditional common law duty/interest tests. Although Reynolds is said to have had a "liberalising" effect, it would seem that summary judgment would still be harder to obtain for a Defendant relying solely on a Reynolds defence.
